ARE YOU READY FOR A NEW YEAR?

Here is a little template above

that you can copy and use for

a New Year's menu for Afternoon

Tea.

Our year has come to a close and

we are ready for a new one.  I

realize blogging isn't the thing it

used to be but for now I will continue.

I am enjoying Instagram even more

than Facebook.  

I am sharing a little garden video I did

for my new Instagram page.

It is a review of  my 2024 garden.

HAPPY 249TH JANE AUSTEN BIRTHDAY

 

CHRISTMASTIME #2

 

I am sharing a little more of our

Christmas decorations:

I apologize for showing the same

items that I have had "forever"

and have shared for years. 

2024 CHRISTMASTIME

 

Hanging some bulbs on the kitchen

chandelier was one of the first

steps in decorating for Christmas.

I don't decorate very formal 

because frankly, we live in

 a cottage - not a

castle.

I recently found this fabric on Ebay and made a tablecloth.  I did make a mistake in sewing it as I centered the French couple cameo design.  Really, they

should have not been centered as then

they get covered up with the 

centerpiece.  I still make mistakes!

I wanted the cameos to 

show better but

placed them wrong when I cut

the fabric.

I missed some red and green

transferware in the armoire.

We have our tree in the dining

area which is a small

area off the kitchen but without

a wall dividing it.

I think I just remembered

that last year we turned

the table to allow more room.

And one more photo for today:
